The team arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja aboard a chattered flight at about 2:26 p.m.
The team arrived to a rousing welcome from fans and government officials, some of whom had waited at the airport for hours to receive their heroines.
Minister of Information, Mohammed idris, Minister of Culture and Tourism, Hanatu Musawa, and the Minister for Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, were among the government officials that welcomed the team on arrival.
The Super Falcons will parade the WAFCON trophy in an open bus across the streets of Abuja enroute to the Presidential Villa where they will be hosted by President Bola Tinubu.
The Falcons made history on Saturday, coming from two goals down to defeat host country Morocco 3-2 to make it ten wins in ten WAFCON finals.
